The Dallas Daily Herald

Is showing much enterprise and good
Judgment in its advocacy of the cause
of prohibition. Its illustrations arc
meritorious in that they never fail to
represent what they aim to set forth,
but their most distinguishing merit is
that they Always represent ideas that
are well conceived, appropriate and
forciblc. The HERALD is constant
goad to the personal liberty beast. 1t
gathers important facts. makes wise
and conservative suggestions, and
never loses sight of the future in its
advocacy of the present. Its courte-
Gus treatment of representative men
is also praiseworthy. We arc pleased
to learn that the HERALD is prosper
ing, and rapidly becoming a leading
business organ in Dallas. Texas Pro
hibition Advocate.

About three months ago man By
the name OF Pemberton was adjudg
ed insane and taken to Terrell. n few
weeks afterwards he was pro-
nounce1. cured and discharged. y
few days ago he was again brought to
the county court and jury pro-
nounced him insane, and this morn
he was taken to Terrell. a telephone
message reached the sheriil's office
about II O'Clock, stating that Pember-
ton could not be admitted until three
suits of clothes accompanied him.
When Pemberton was admitted the
first time. the sheriff furnished three
SUITS. and having furnished that num-
ber only three months ago, he did not
think lie required three more-siX
suits of clothes in three months, but
the return message was that the three
extra suits would be forwarded to-
morrow by express.

The Burlington and the Atchison.

j. L. Hosford, a prominent citi-
zen of Burlington, Iowa, and known
to be interested in the Burlington
road, has been in Kirksville, Mo-,
the past few days, interviewing
the committee appointed to secure
the right of way for the Atchison,
and it is said that Mr.. Hosford
gave the committee to understand
that if a like offer to the one made
the Atchison be given the Burling-
ton, namely: Free right of way
and depots at the county seats Of
Scotland, Adair, Linn and Living
ston counties, the Bur lington Com
pany will accept and build from
Burlington, Iowa, through ON this
line to Kansas City. 1t is claim
ed this would give the Burlington
a line fifteen miles shorter than
the Atchison's, Mr., Hosfprd was
given a respectful hearing, and
assured that the Burlington would
be substantially encouraged in
such an enterprise. Globe Demo

WAR PROSPECTS.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-Most men
who are behind the scenes say
that war must come. Vienna, al
ways hotbed of military and po-
litical gossip, has agitated. The
German empe or's speech yester-
day to the members who pre-
sented to him the address of the
Prussian upper chamber was sole
ly directed to securing the pas
sage of the army bill. French
purchases of horses in Denmark
are met by German orders for can
ned meats in London. Brussels
is clearly alarmed, and perhaps
not without reason, for most SOL
diers agree that if France resol-
yes to attack Germany she will
fling to the wind all regard for
neutral rights, and make her rush
through Belgium. Russian men,
ances and intrigues against Bull
garia never relax. Russia now
knowe that Lord Salisbury's atti-
tude and intentions are unchang-
ed, and the car is more angry
than ever. He has been made to
understand that England will be a
party to no scheme for putting a
Russian proconsul over Bulgaria.
France has responded to Prince
Bismark's speech, as was expect
ed. The Budget committee,
though h rejecting the proposal of
the finance minister for a long
loan, voted almost without discus
sion, the extra S5,000,00O francs
(S17, ,2000,000l demanded by Gen.
Boulanger, France is believed at
this moment to be in greater readi-
ness for war that Germany; but
France always meant to attack by
surprise, and no surprise is posi-
BILE when every hour some fresh
alarm is sounded.
Gen. Boulanger has ordered the
commanders of all French fort
resses to be at their posts before
February 20.

A Startling Fact.

[ knew a gentleman WHO marri-
ed a sweet and lovely gill. She
was very devoted to him, ano
when she discovered his dissipat-
ed habits, she endeavorod to shielC
him. When he stayed out al
night, she would send the servants
to bed, while she waited and
watched for him; and then i'll her
night-dress and a pair of slippers
on her feet would glide down very
gently and let him in.
One night he came home late.
The servants were in bed: The
house had a froat door, then &
marble vestibule, and then an in
per door, She opened the one,
stepped upon the cold marble, an,
opened the outer door. The drunk
en- husband entered, seized her b,
the shoulders, swung her round,
opened the inner door, qnickl
passed through, and lacked it be.
fore his wife couli enter. She
would not speak or cry out, lest
she should disgrace her husband
before the servants.
In the morning she was found
with her night dress drawn under
her feet, crouching in the corner,
almost chillsd to death. On her
death bed she told her father ali
about it, or the circumstance.
would never have been known.
There is much that is never know
an we'll as vast amount of miser,
and degradation that does moi
crop out, and which is startling il
its reality. John B. Cough.

TRAIN ROBBERY.
A Train in Texas Robbed by Masked
Men.

Fort WORTH, Texas, Jan. a.
Two masked men boarded the en-
CINE on the east-bound train on
the Texas & Pacific Hallway just
as it pulled out from Gordon
station, at 3 o'clock Sun
day morning. Drawing revolvers
on the engineer and fireman, they
ordered them to 60 on until a trestle
two miles east of the station was
reached. Here they compelled
the engineer to stop the train in
such way that the baggage, ex-
press and mail cars were on the
road bed, while the passenger CT rs
W ere on the trestle and the passen-
gers could not leave them. Six
masked men who had been wait
ing at this point guarded the train,
and the eight robbers went
through the express car, getting
all the money, packages and valu-
ables, and through the mail ba' 8,
taking all the registered packages,
twenty-eig in number. They
then left the train and rode away
without molesting the passengers.
The Pacific Express company re-
fuses to say how much their loss
is, and the reports vary from $1,000
to $4,000. The value of the reg
istered mail is, of course, unknown
Thus far no clue to the robbers
has been obtained.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad company has let con-
tracts for its locomotives and
bought outright twenty more. The
officials have also contracted with
the Pullman company to build
eighty sleeping cars, besides buy
ing ten which had been built for a
Pacific coast company but left on
Mr.. Pullman's hands by default in
payment. To-day contracts will be
let for the building Of $500 freight
cars, and within the month furth-
er contracts will be made for
$500 more. All of this new equip
ment is designed for use on the
extension of the company's road
between Chicago and Kansas City
and is to be delivered within the
year.-Keokuk Democrat.

THE O. M. & P.
A Half Million Dollars Appropriated
by New York Capitalists to
Stalghten the Line and
Reduce Grades.

1t was stated in last weeks
GRAPHIC that the Q. NJ. & 2. Rv,
would probably become an impor-
tant link one of the great continent
al trunk lines. 1t seems that the
officials, who went over the road
Wednesday on tour of inspec-
ton, were fayorably impressed
with theroad, and that the scheme,
which was in contemplation and
was outlined in our last issue, will
without doubt be carried to compile
ton. We have been officially in
formed that New York capitalists
have appropriated a half million
dollars to straighten the line and
reduce the grades on the Quincy
and Missouri Pacific. The prin-
cipal points are Rice's Hill north
west of town and Greencastle. At
Rice's Hill the grade will be cut
down, SO that heavy freight and
passenger trains will be enabled
to make fast time. The principal
change in the line will be at
Greencastle grade. At this point
to save grade and vast expsndi-
ture of money, the line will be
run on the old Spring Greek route
north of the town, leaving Green
castle a mile or a mile and half
to the southwark. The above
statements are official and perfect
ly reliable, and as soon as the
weather opens the work will be
begun.
While the Atchison folks are
soldering around trying to bluff
the c. B. g. @. and frightening the
people in the little towns along
their proposed line the, @. NJ. &. P.
has made appropriations that will
place the road in the very best
possible condition, and long be-
fore the Atchison folks get the

Austria.

VIENNA, Jan. 25.-The Austro-
Hungarian military preparations
continue unabated. In event of
mobilization three great armies
will be formed, each corps having
no less than 250,000 men, the COM
manders of which have already
been designated. The rules gov
erning the landstrum, which have
just been published, show that
nothing but blindness, deafness,
dumbness and lameness will ex-
empt men from service, and tEat
drafts from the landstrum will be
used to fill up the gaps in the reg
ular and navy services. The new
rules have rather surprised the
country, such sweeping. string
ent contingent not having been ex-
pected.

St. Louis and Hannibal Extension

HANNIBAL, Mo, Jan. 21.-B. Fl.
Bonfoey, a prominent citizen of
Unionville, Mo-, was in this CITY
to o-day and had conference with
Supt. E. G. Case, of the st. Louis
and Hannibal Railroad, in regard
to the extension of the road to
UnieDville. Mr.. Bonfoey was
unable to satisfactorily answer
Supt. Cases questions with refer
ence tothe coal fields of Adair and
Putnam counties. Mr.. Case will
meet President Blair in Chicago
next Monday morning. when the
scheme of extension viii be pre-
sented to him. 1t is supposed
that Mr.. Blair will favor the pro-
ject if an investigation proves that
coal exists in paying quantities,
as he is desirous of securing st.
Louis outlet for the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad. Mr..
Blair owns a large amount of the
stock of the Northwestern, and
the extension would be benefit to
both roads. The connection would
probably be at Des Moines, Iowa.
Mr.. Bonfoey guaranteed the right
of way and depot facilities at I'm
ionville, and it is believed that
the other counties along the line
of the projected extension would
do equally as well, as it would tap
a section of country which to a
great extent is not reached by 9TH
er roads. Mr.. Bonfoey returned
home this evening, encouraged by
the reception he received from
Supt. Case. The coal fields in
question will be investigated at
once, and if coal is found in pay
ing quantities there is no doubt
but that the road will be extended
during the year.

son has produced new impulse |
in the markets. The remarkable |
position of the iron market is con-
tinued. Instead of waning the
situation is intensified. Pig iron
the barometer of the trade, is be-
coming dangerously elevated and
those who have none to sell are
alarmed while sellers are jubilant.
Inquiries for steel rails for
southern points develop the fact
that Pennsylvania and New York
mills cannot take the contracts,
and orders for from 100000 to
800, 900 tons will have to be placed
abroad. A general feeling of con-
fdence prevails in every branch
of trade, while collections are good
and money comparatively easy.
When one fails in any un-
dertaking the greatest source of
consolation is the feeling of hav-
ing discharged ones duty. If the
people of Kirksville fail to get
the Atchison road, they should be
consoled by the thought that ten
thousand dollars subscribed to
secure right of way through the
town and county, buy land for
yards, tracks etc, is an effort wor-
thy the people of any town SINH
Elarly situated. Our committee
should gently remind the Atchi-
son officials of the penalty which
awaits the stubborn and stiff
necked, and that if they refuse to
put their line through Kirksville,
the county seats of Scotland,
Adair, Linn and Ray, might be
tempted to give the G. B. & Q.
folks half million to run a par
allel line through the above nam
ed towns.
IF it turns out that Kinks
vile is not in reach of the Atchi-
son and Topeka railroad, we should
not be discouraged. There are
number of enterprises that Kinks
vile might easily secure, any one
of which would bring as much
prosperity and probably of longer
continuance, as the new line of
railroad. We learn that nearl y ten
thousand dollars was subscribed
by our citizens last week to secure
the road. Now let our monied men
subscribe like amount to stock
company and next season we
could have a canning establish
ment and Touring mill that would
add, not only permanent growth
and prosperity to our town, but
could be made to pay dividend
to the stock holders. AS previous
ly stated Kirksville and Adair
county can hardly afford to loose
this new line of railway, and all
admit that it would be grand
thing if Kirksville were SO fortu-
nate as to secure it. But Kirksville
unlike two or three of our neigh
boring towns, south and eastof US,
does not have to depend for pros
perity, permanency and continued
growth, upon the location of any
single line of railway through its
limits.
